1. What is your favorite club ride?
The loop out to Independence. I love stopping at Ovenbird Bakery and getting a quiche and grabbing a coffee at the Brew.
2. What is your favorite out-of-town ride?
It is a toss up between I did Chilly Hilly in Seattle last year and really challenged myself with all of the climbing. I also enjoy taking my fat tire bike over Bend and riding the groomed snow trails at Wanoga Sno Park
3. Do you prefer to go uphill or downhill?
I like downhills because it plays to my size. But I do also enjoy the challenge of a climb.
4. What is the best part of being a club member?
Without a doubt all of the group ride that are available and I have really enjoyed the gravel ride and look for to doing even more in 2026. Also I love a good coffee stop.
5. Why do you ride your bike?
For both fitness and stress relief. I have a very high stress job and whenever I’m on the bike I can totally escape that.
